Sleep-deprivation at Workplace

Sleep is very important. It’s vital for your physical, emotional and mental well-being. It has also a great impact on your performance at work.

The outcomes of the sleep-deprived workforce can be serious. Nuclear meltdowns and disasters in Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, Exxon Valdez oil spill and Challenger shuttle disasters were all influenced by decisions made by sleepy staff.

All of the above costs organizations 2,280 USD a year per sleep-deprived worker. That’s why it is so important to create an environment where all workers are rested and perform at their peak.

In this infographic, prepared by Hult International Business School, you can see how sleep-deprivation affects the workplace. Tiredness can have a severe impact on all areas of your life, and a profound impact on your productivity at work.
